In the morning when i first leave home the transmission wants to slip until I have gone about 2 miles. If I start in Low and than shift into Drive it works fairly well. However, if I try to start in Drive it slips like crazy. I have drained the transmission three times in the last couple of months and it seems to work better for a short while and than starts with the slipping all over again.

Hi there,

This sound like an internal transmission problem, you would be better of talking to your local transmission specialist, let them drive the car and they will be best placed to advise you on what to do.
